Planting

Water the rose thoroughly while it’s still in its pot or dunk a bare root one in a bucket of water for 20-30 minutes

Pick your spot in the garden and make sure it’s clear of weeds

Dig a hole that will take the roses root mass easily

Use a fork to loosen the soil at the base of the hole so roots can grow away easily

Sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole as per the manufacturer’s instructions, this aids root development and leads to a healthier plant

Position your rose in the hole so that it’s just slightly lower than the surrounding ground surface

Backfill with the soil taken out to dig the hole

Firm in by gently standing on the soil to ensure the rose is secure and that there are no air pockets.

Water well.

Aftercare

Any new rose needs to be watered well until it is established, probably the first two years. Once established you will need to water still to promote a healthy plant that will flower over a long period. The amount depends on rainfall and heat. Once a week should be sufficient but if flowers wilt in extreme heat then they need a good soaking at the roots more frequently.

Pay special attention to climbers planted against a wall, roses in pots or in sandy soil with both watering and feeding.

Feed your roses twice a year, with After Plant Rose Food once in March/April at the start of the growing season and then again in late July after the first blooms to encourage stronger repeat flowering.

Mulch with bark chippings in early spring to suppress weeds and increase water retention
